The Elgin American Carryall Unused Boxed Leaping Gazelles c.1950s
Such an iconic vintage Elgin American Carryall which is embellished with embossed leaping gazelles and ferns on the outer and interior case.
This highly collectible vanity is presented in the original box, with the original black moiré carrying case, lipstick tube, puff and sifter - all in good order.
This book piece vanity set has not been used with makeup.
From the time of its crafting it has been kept as a cherished collectible.
The first compartment is described by the makers as a powder case.
The presence of the original unused signed puff and sifter means that this accessory could be used with loose foundation if desired.
The next compartment is the pill box.
The lipstick compartment is fitted with the original lipstick holder.
The lipstick mechanism works perfectly.
Above the lipstick is the lip tissue holder.
The black moiré carry case is in excellent condition, as is the carryall.
The interior case is also fitted with a drop down mirror which reveals a compartment behind it which is ideal for all manner of items.
Originally this compartment was described by the maker as cigarette compartment under mirror.
The mirror gives a good and accurate reflection.
The mirror has a few age related marks but nothing which detracts from this splendid collectible.
This Elgin American Carryall measures 11 x 6.5 cm and weighs 276.2 grams
The whole boxed set weighs 358.1 grams.
Enchanting!
